there is an ex-policeman who is a mighty good friend of the crooks he arranges bonds for us and fixes things up with policemen who do arrest us so that we can get away at still a third point the confession states : they â€” referring to the criminals â€” said they did not like the way captain hunt and state's attorney hoyne were going after them and that they would turn the town upside down to make things look bad for the officials that the murder of policeman bror a johnson might have be*en one of the direct results of the importation of crooks was admitted-by mr hoyne and the police we have struck nothing so far which connects the death of johnson with this case said mr hoyne but if it develops that johnson was killed by a gunman imported by police officials or politicians the man

lips of eddie mack leader of the bandits m his signed confession made yesterday afternoon to state's attorney hoyne in a supplementary statement not made public mack told of paying protection to at least six Chicago police men for immunity from arrest during his criminal operations he told too of the general gossip m the underworld of im ported gunmen and thieves whose business it was to create a reign of terrorism to handicap and embarrass the adminis tration of state's attorney hoyne and of nicholas hunt as chief of detectives the details of the statement of mack as to paying pro tection money will not be given out until there has been a thorough investigation said edward fleming secretary to state's attorney hoyne he names six policemen at least it was common gossip among the thieves and pick pockets that gunmen and criminals of all kinds were being imported by anti-administration politicians to cause trouble said mack m his confession in another part of the confession mack said : there is an ex-policeman who is a mighty good friend of the crooks he arranges bonds for us and fixes things up with policemen who do arrest us so that we can get away at still a third point the

to make things look bad for the officials that the murder of policeman bror a johnson might have be*en one of the direct results of the importation of crooks was admitted-by mr hoyne and the police we have struck nothing so far which connects the death of johnson with this case said mr hoyne but if it develops that johnson was killed by a gunman imported by police officials or politicians the man who imported the slayer stands guilty of rriurder french line is broken in artoisdrive germans gain foothold in trench es near arras but three at tacks are repulsed by international news service
